not to call people out but in my opinion this is a lackluster attitude that amounts to "thanx for trying but meh where is my free sh.t" and it doesn't offer much to work with.

I already gave a run down why I dislike FP, and it is not about free **** it is about the event for that free mech, so we have something to work for. with challenges to fullfil, and them being half a month late on that is concerning

Finally fp events. Thx. Had great matches personally.Even pug vs pug matches where quite
fun.

Now get rid of phases (so no artificial downtime for no reason). Attacker and defender random. Increase the Ms and fix the formula, that it is not divided bye mechs used-> insane profit


P.s.: and pgi lost the restart fp button again...

Hey there...

Next weekend all cockpit items will be on sale.

That should come with an MC sale. Trust me on this.

This sounds like a healthy start to something nice...

Any chance we could also have a Sale repeat from the "All-Out-War Faction Play Weekend" run with the Cicada added into that for a couple of weeks? Obviously, there is the fact that it would help drive some of those (MC) Sales which PGI could use, and that would be good for both business and the player base getting Bug Fixes (such as the Server Selector's module) for MWO to function better upon. Further, that particular Sale happened to run for so short a time as to cause many people to be forced into missing out. Yet also of note, the Cicada happens to be one of the "May 2023 Patch-affected Mechs" due to Modeling Changes but never made it into that Sale's instance after the request for all of those to be present. Perhaps this would be a fun time to make better on all of that, even if it must be merged with the June 2023 set as well over the timing proximity?

As for this person...

Oh, you have no idea how long (talking a handful of years now) that whole thing with Match Score has made me cranky. Perhaps that unnecessary Match Score loss for every time someone's Mech is destroyed needs to be entirely removed? Or at least, it needs to be reduced & limited to only a maximum of five percent (5%) in Quick Play combat, while maybe ten percent (10%) lost at most when you're in the CW/FW/FP environment, but only happening once someone has been completely removed from combat? I think we can agree that taking away too much of a player's Match Score when they're losing huge chunks of time purely to play one single CW/FW/FP Match is rather overboard. After all, if someone is dealing with an Event that was designed to be heavily based on Match Score but then they lose most of it over even half of their Drop Deck being destroyed, the player will quickly decide CW/FW/FP Matches are not worth the investment due to being made unable to earn far too much in such a large time period. Pardon my sentences getting so long... This particular nasty Game Mechanics Issue really makes me cranky... I would not be at all surprised if the New Player Experience ends up being heavily biased in a negative manner due to this!

No they don't, even a light can survive a dropship attack.

Yes a fresh light can survive a singular dropship attack. But in a "spawn camping situation" people are complaining about, there will be multiple attacks and the light will not be fresh. And remember, a dropship shoots and isolate components much better than players and they can shoot from above.

Its much easier to get more matchscore, cbills and KDR by staying outside the dropship turret range to farm if the enemy does not bring LRMS.

Thanks for another faction play event weekend! Wish had more time to play it; the game just feels so much more fun with the drop deck, though the rewards where a little lean this time still good stuff keep it up!

Rather than hoping I get on the team with the group that goes farming in FP, I should get some friends so I can group drop and guarantee I'm on the farming side. Unfortunately I'm really unlikeable, so I will just continue to avoid FP.

LOL! NICE!

Imagine giving a damn about being friends with random people on the Internet.

I have heard there is some very popular website that makes billions each year by getting people addicted to do exactly just that ?!

The name is F-something I believe ??

Like Siege maps with those choke-points! It's not magic just tricky and need some special approach (no, not Leeroy Jenkins)...

Actually I have seen some Linebacker rushes in the past that come close to Leeroy Jenkins style attacks!

Is there something in the Water over there in Canada?

I am guessing canoes and kayaks ?!

Not sure why people think having friends in the game grants automatic buffs to your mechs. As a solo dropper, on a side of mixed and untagged, we beat two different 8/9 man teams and they were very fun exciting matches.

I have said that soo many times, but people keep complaining about group drops! LOL!

Funny watching the LRM players complain that we're spawn camping.

LURM n00bs will be n00bs forever I guess... LOL!
